simple pleasures
Posted: March 14th, 2026, 11:15 am
waking up to an inch of snow when the NWS was calling for 4-8
a clean shave - stubble-free, even beside the Adam's apple
that first sip of morning coffee - hot, black, no sugar
the last shovelful of snow clearing the approach to your mailbox
feeding chickadees by hand
the sound of peepers
the first day of the year you go outside in a tee shirt
meeting a friendly dog while on a walk
rescuing a turtle from the road
toads
wild fruit
a just-because email from an old friend
completing a chore you'd dreaded
watching children play
lending a hand
having enough
